If you see something, say something. University of Oregon employees are protected by federal and state laws and university policies, and have the obligation under federal law and university policy to report information they have regarding instances of discrimination and harassment, including gender discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual violence, dating and domestic violence, and stalking.
Visit the Office of Investigations and Civil Rights Compliance for more information about employee reporting obligations.
It is also important that all members of the university community understand they can make complaints of prohibited discrimination or harassment to the Office of Investigations and Civil Rights Compliance, and that the university will take steps to protect them from retaliation.
